Announcing Transifex 0.5

[Dimitris Glezos]

Indifex and the Transifex Community are proud to announce the newest version
of their flagship translation platform, Transifex 0.5.

Transifex is a web application written in Python using the Django web
framework that gives translators a web interface to various version control
systems. Files to be translated can be downloaded, translated files can be
uploaded directly to the source repository, and various translation statistics
can be read at a glance.

Transifex is already in use by the Fedora Project to translate its interfaces
to an audience of more than 5 million users.


What does it offer?
===================

Transifex currently supports the following Version control systems:

 - Concurrent Version System
 - Subversion
 - Bazaar
 - Mercurial
 - Git

For statistics generation, Transifex supports static gettext message catalogs
and intltool-based ones, used by the vast majority of open source software
projects.


What's new in 0.5?
==================

A full list of the features offered in this release can be found in the
release notes:

 http://docs.transifex.org/releases/0.5.html

This release represents a significant advance in Transifex development since
the Transifex 0.3 release in November 2008. Here’s a 40K-foot view of the
release in numbers and most important feature categories.

243 files changed, 14027 insertions(+), 319 deletions(-)

 - Complete re-write of the source code on top of the Django Web framework
 - New data model supporting multiple repositories per project (eg. branches
   or domains of files), and project collections (eg. Fedora, GNOME, etc.)
 - Calculation of a project’s translation coverage (statistics)
 - Submission support of files to a variety of version control systems
 - Support for serving translation files to users for easy access to them
 - User registrations and authentication (including OpenID)
 - Simple workflow support


What does it look like?
=======================

The Fedora Project is currently running an instance of Transifex at:

it seems that not all modules can be submitted through new tx yet, so
we'll have to use both for a while.

I've made the migration and AFAIK, the only modules missed right now on the
new Tx compared to the New one are:

#Present at old Tx but not in DL
specspo

This component it too big and it was killing the server CPU 4 times a day to
msgmerge all the languages. We are dropping it for now until we have this
ticked[1] be done.

# Publican modules present at old Tx but not in DL
publican-common-content
publican-docs
publican-fedora-brand
system-config-date-docs
system-config-nfs-docs
system-config-samba-docs
system-config-services-docs
system-config-users-docs

As we can't produce stats for Publican based projects yet, the components
above were not added for now.
Anyone interested on send us a patch with the publican support? :)

BTW all components from DL should be at the new Tx. We are just missing some
components from the old Tx.

Great !

Congratulations !

I was able to submit the problematic desktop-effects file I wasn't
able to submit before.
Now I can see it at a 100% instantly !  :-)

It's easier to use than the old DL-Tx interface.
It's a great progress.
My best wishes to the success of this tool.

Thanks

kind regards

Hi Dimitris,

Tx is really shaping up well.  Can you give us (Docs team esp.) an
idea of the outlook for Publican support?
